Luisa Villavicencio

Luisa Villavicencio: "Dipingo perché voglio chiedere a tutti di essere persone migliori, più espressione di sentimento e comprensione.
L'amore è molto importante nella vita di ogni essere umano.
I miei colori sono intimamente legati alla forma, perché i miei colori dicono quello che sento.
La mia arte cerca la bellezza nella composizione, espressione del gesto, armonia e proporzione, degli elementi estetici".
Matthias Grünewald (German Renaissance painter, 1470-1528)
Matthias Grünewald was a German Renaissance painter of religious works who ignored Renaissance classicism to continue the style of late medieval Central European art into the 16th century.
His first name is also given as Mathis and his surname as Gothart or Neithardt. Only ten paintings—several consisting of many panels—and thirty-five drawings survive, all religious, although many others were lost at sea in the Baltic on their way to Sweden as war booty.
His present worldwide reputation, however, is based chiefly on his greatest masterpiece, the "Isenheim Altarpiece" c.1513-15, which was long believed to have been painted by Dürer. Grünewald grew up in Würzburg near Nuremberg, and from 1501-1521 he was proprietor of a workshop in Seligenstadt.

Titian | An Idyll: A Mother and a Halberdier in a Wooded Landscape, 1505-1510
This painting is informed by the bucolic poetry of such classical sources as Virgil’s Georgics and Eclogues and Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
The subject of printed, painted, and drawn images, landscapes of shaded groves, musicians, shepherds, and languid nymphs were a quintessentially Venetian genre in the early sixteenth century.

The most celebrated, and perhaps most enigmatic, of these is Giorgione’s Tempest, which shows the same configuration of a seated woman and a standing figure found here.
The purpose, subject, and meaning of these evocative paintings is still unclear, leading some scholars to argue that they inaugurated a new genre of landscape painting, one based on secular rather than sacred sources. | Harvard Art Museums / Fogg Museum
Allan Douglas Davidson | An English Yum-Yum, 1906
"An English Yum-Yum: my lady lights the sombre day: A scene from The Mikado", signed and dated 'Allan Davidson 1906', belongs to a tradition going back to Whistler's Japanese subjects of the 1860s and '70s, by way of paintings inspired by visits to Japan by Whistler's pupil Mortimer Menpes (1887), Alfred East (1889) and the two 'Glasgow Boys', George Henry and E.A. Hornel (1893-4).
The picture's title is taken from Gilbert and Sullivan's Savoy opera The Mikado, first staged in March 1885. | Source: © Christie's
